We tell him he had a brain injury, I can’t tell him how that brain injury was caused. It will set him back.’ she told Ellen.

Lamar’s condition is so bad he can hardly put words together or communicate properly; he even sometimes forgets his age, according to TMZ reports.

‘Sometimes he knows who the president is, and his birthday, and other times he thinks he’s 26, and I say: “I bet you wish you were 26, so do I.” Khloe stated.
